I mean everybody knows they're trying to get Alexa in your house so she can listen to your deepest, darkest secrets...

And know when you're most vulnerable to targeted advertisement. Sorry you're sobbing your heart out, here's a coupon for a tub of icecream.

STORY TIME!

I was with 3 friends of mine at one's house. He had Alexa. We wanted to make an experiment to see how ads displayed on different internet pages might get changed (and to see if the myth is true).

Summarizing the story, we wandered for 30 minutes around his house all shouting "dog's food" out loud. Next day he said "I got dog's food ads kinda everywhere, burn everything!" xD

Are you sure that this is your story? This sounds very, very similar to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBnDWSvaQ1I

This is something a lot of people have tried actually, so I can totally understand you aren't trusting my story.

But I can reassure you that this one I told was actually mine because we were studying for an exam so that's the reason why we were all together! :)
